  • Chatting with ChatGPT - The Collection 1: Nuclear, Brandis, Starfish, Ukraine, War and COVID-19

    by JOHN PATERSON
    This is a series of brief conversations with ChatGPT on a number of controversial subjects. The results are unedited and represent a range of answers, but ChatGPT is not allowed to express opinions and does not access recent news. All in all, it provides an interesting insight into this new technology called “Artificial intelligence” or AI but it is far from perfect at the time of writing in March 2023. I have no doubt that in future it will guide all our discussions.

    by JOHN PATERSON

    SUMMARY OF RESEARCH

  • Universal Metadata Standard

    by Andrej Poleev
    Consciousness is based on the association of notions or a neural network. Similarly, the creation of the next generation Internet (semantic web) is impossible without attributes that allow the semantic association of documents and their integration into an information context. To achieve these goals, the Universal Metadata Standard (UMS) may serve as a basis for documentography and is functionally required for interpretation of documents by automatic operating systems.
  • Charité, mon amour

    by Andrej Poleev

    Wie jedes Krankenhaus hat Charité ihre Geschichte, die mit dem Erlaß des preußischen Königs Friedrich I. vom 14. November 1709 zur Gründung von Lazareth-Häusern anfing, um der Ausbreitung der Pest entgegenzuwirken, wozu es allerdings in Berlin nie gekommen ist. Am 9. Januar 1727 verfügte König Friedrich Wilhelm I. die Umwandlung des vor dem Spandowischen Tor errichteten Lazareth in ein Hospital und nannte es „das Haus die Charité“... more

  • Der Sinn des Lebens und andere psychologische Schriften.

    by Andrej Poleev
    Ist das nicht der Unsinn, der uns alle bedroht und gefährdet? Das ist eine rhetorische Frage, und sie weist schon auf die Antwort hin: Die Fälle und die Erscheinungsformen von Ordnungswahn sind in Deutschland zahlreich und vielfältig infolge der Institutionalisierung des Wahns, weswegen Zwangsvorstellungen und Zwangshandlungen dieser Art nicht als therapiebedürftige Zwangsstörungen gelten, und jegliche Versuche, die Tendenz umzukehren, abgewehrt werden. Lernunfähigkeit und Unbeeinflußbarkeit sch... more
  • Exorcism

    by Andrej Poleev
    Exorcism is (1) the act of driving out, or warding off, demons, or evil spirits, from persons, places, or things, which are believed to be possessed or infested by them, or are liable to become victims or instruments of their malice; (2) the means employed for this purpose, especially the solemn and authoritative adjuration of the demon, in the name of God, or any of the higher power in which he is subject.

  • De amore

    by Andrej Poleev
    Отвечая на вопрос о природе любви, невозможно обойти вниманием формы её проявления: дружбу, дружелюбие, союз, мир. Универсальность любви является отражением космического устройства, в котором всё присходит из взаимодействия, совершающегося в микрокосмосе. Химическая связь атомов при их молекулярной ассоциации или ассоциативная связь понятий в ментальном пространстве имеют одинаковые основания - реализацию вещественности при топологическом преобразовании изомерного пространства. Несмотря на то, ч... more
